Florida Sheep and Wool Festival 2014

I found out yesterday that I am officially going to be vending at the Florida Sheep and Wool Festival in April :)

I have been in contact with the coordinator Doug for a few months now and finally got my paperwork in the mail yesterday... but he went ahead and marked me as being a vendor this year...

The festival is April 25th, 26th, and 27th... with tons to do!!!

Here is the web page if you want to see all the amazing things that will be going on that weekend:

Some of the activities include knitting, crocheting, spinning, and so much more... It is mainly based around the 4-H and FFA members... which I personally think is wonderful.

I remember showing pigs and rabbits in FFA growing up and wish that every child/teen had that experience.

They do spinning "competitions" among the kids, categorized by age... also fleece judging contests... It is just going to be a good time for all.

Here is what Doug from the Florida Meat Sheep Aliance wrote on Facebook last night:

"The Florida Sheep, Wool, and Herding Dog Festival is only 3 months away. We have some great workshops scheduled for the event. This Open Show event is sure to draw people from all over the Southeast. Especially since we have had some crazy weather.

Over the next few months, I will be posting about the progress and creations that will be brought along to the festival... if you plan on attending and have something you want to see... PLEASE let me know :)

About Me

Mom of twin boys... They are four at the moment and always getting into everything :) Inbetween work, kids, and animals, I try and find time to be creative... Right now I am really loving processing fleece. I have been getting fleece from different farms all over the country (and some overseas)... I then wash everything in my home, dye, and process it into roving, batts, or handspun yarn :)
